ABSTRACT AND KEY WORDS
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Standard Reference Data Program provides reliable, well-
documented data to scientists and engineers for use in technical problem-solving, research, and development. Th
catalog lists classic data compilations in hard-copy form and current databases in the Standard Reference Data-
base Series. This edition of the catalog updates many new databases. These data compilations have been subdi-
vided into seven categories. Prices and ordering information are located at the back of the document.
Key words: atomic physics; chemistry; compilations; databases; materials; numeric data

PREFACE
The formal existence of the National Standard Reference Data System dates from 1963, when the Federal Council
for Science and Technology asked the then National Bureau of Standards to assume primary responsibility in the
Federal Government for promoting and coordinating the critical evaluation of numerical data in the physical sci-
ences. The program was conceived as a decentralized national effort with financial support coming from a variety
of government and private sources, but with NBS responsible for the overall planning and coordination. In 1968
Congress provided a specific legislative mandate for the program through passage of Public Law 90-396, the Stan-
dard Reference Data Act. This Act states the policy of Congress to make reliable reference data available to sci-
entists, engineers, and the general public.
The Standard Reference Data Program has been providing evaluated, high-quality data for a wide range of appli-
cations to industry, government, and academic institutions for over twenty-seven years. Standard reference data
has been utilized to improve design efficiency of various chemical processes, identify potentially toxic substances in
the environment, improve materials durability, and calculate performance of chemical reactors, to name but a few
applications. With the onset of the personal computer at every scientist's fingertips, standard reference data is
even more accessible and will play an even more critical role in the future. With this, the second annual Standard
Reference Data Products Catalog, we hope to make the scientific community more aware of our highly evaluated,
high-quality data in all of its many forms.
The Standard Reference Data booth appears at many scientific conferences
and meetings.

INTRODUCTION
The NIST Standard Reference Data (SRD) Program provides reliable, well-documented data to scientists and
engineers for use in technical problem solving, research, and development.
Experts in the physical, chemical, and materials sciences critically evaluate data that result from experimental
measurements, calculations, and theory. The evaluations are carried out through a network of data centers,
projects, and cooperative programs that comprise the National Standard Reference Data System (NSRDS).
Experienced researchers in each
area assess the accuracy of the data
reported in the literature, prepare
compilations, and recommend best
values. The outputs are widely dis-
tributed as publications and com-
puter-readable databases.
Current activities in the Standard
Reference Data Program are car-
ried out in long-term data centers,
located primarily at NIST, and nu-
merous short-term projects, primar-
ily at universities and industrial
research centers. In addition, the
Program maintains many long-term
collaborations with industry on co-
operative data programs which draw
support from industry and govern-
ment.
Dr. Malcolm W. Chase, Jr. is Chiefofthe Standard Reference Data Program.
The activities concentrate on the disciplines as follows:
—
Analytical Chemistry includes mass spectral data, surface analysis data, and crystallographic data for chemical
identification.
—
Atomic Physics includes atomic energy levels, transition probabilities, and collision data used for characteri-
zation and modeling.
—
Chemical Kinetics includes evaluated data on gas phase reactions.
—
Materials Properties structure and characterization of materials, performance properties, including corrosion,
mechanical and tribology, and phase equilibria.
—
Molecular Structures and Spectroscopy evaluated data on structures of molecular data.
Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry — includes reliable, widely-used tables of organic and inorganic species.
—
Thermophysical Properties ofFluids thermophysical properties of pure and mixed fluids that are of great im-
portance to industry.
